Chapter 1172 The Problem of the Church in the Morning
The Glory Soul Competition is the first large-scale event held after the establishment of the Europa Empire. This is the declaration of the EU people to the entire world that they announce their arrival.
The people who planned this event learned from the martial arts competition held by the New China people to a certain extent. The EU people prepared for this event for a year and a half.
EU people envy New China in their bones. They hope that the new country they have established in this world can emerge from the war, take off in the war, and leave a mark of martial arts.
As the most reliable aboriginal ally of the Europa Empire, the Temple of Morning Light expressed great dissatisfaction with this. They felt that the Europa was showing kindness to the God of War Campas.
It’s a pity that this dissatisfaction is not very concerned about the EU people themselves or the Lord of Morning. As the spokesperson for the Lord of Morning in the mortal world, the Pope of the Temple of Morning in the Temple of Morning vaguely feels like he is excluded from the gods he serves and the newly established country.
There must be other agreements between them.
Pope St. Philip once again knelt in front of his gorgeous seat and prayed to the Lord of Morning: "You are the original light, you are the majestic day, you are the sun that gives the world warmth and light, you are the first ray of morning light that sprinkles on this world, you are the eternal brilliance of mankind."
St. Philip has been in the position of the Pope for thirty-two years. Although the Church of Morning Light has not made much progress in his hands that can be recorded in history, the number of believers has risen steadily. The faith of the Lord of Morning Light has been radiated to the edge by one priest after another. The Knight of Morning Light has overcome all obstacles in the Chaos-lossed area with the glory of the Lord.
He did not make any mistakes, but the Lord of Dawn abandoned the believers on earth.
St. Philip is a legendary strong man. He has been in legend for almost forty years and naturally has his own understanding of the Holy Light.
The deeper he understands in this field, the more he can discover that the Holy Light does not originate from the Lord of Dawn himself. On the contrary, the closest truth to the fact is that the Lord of Dawn may be just a user of the power of the Holy Light, but He is far ahead of him on this road.
But this does not prevent St. Philip from still being a believer of the Lord of Dawn. He believes that the Lord of Dawn is the leader of his own exemplary path and a guardian who protects the world.
But as mentioned before, the Lord of Dawn seems to have abandoned His believers on the ground.
The power of holy light is a violent force, which is difficult for mortals to contact and control. The Lord of Dawn forcibly controls the power of holy light with his own vast power and popularizes it in the world in the form of divine art.
Believers give up their own beliefs, while gods respond to the corresponding authority and match the corresponding power. However, mortals without talent have the opportunity to contact the superpower and become supernatural. This is a mature mechanism that has been operating for thousands of years.
Although that mechanism is still operating, believers can still trade faith for power, but St. Philip can clearly feel that God is no longer there.
The Lord of Dawn has abandoned that system and He no longer responds to the prayers of believers, even if the prayer is His agent in the world - Pope St. Philip.
The Pope remembered one night a few years ago when an angel escaped from the kingdom of the Dawn Lord and voluntarily fell into the mortal world. He did not escape or resist, but was quietly brought back to the secret temple by the Dawn Temple.
He said that in order to fight Chaos, God must abandon his personality incarnation in exchange for higher authority and strength.
St. Philip could not understand this sentence, or he did not want to understand, what does it mean to abandon the incarnation of personality? The great Lord of Dawn was once a mortal? So he needed to abandon the incarnation of personality?
What does it mean to exchange for higher authority and power? Who should I exchange it for? Who should I ask for it? What authority is it? What power is it?
St. Philip had hundreds of thousands of questions to ask, but he dared not, he could not even think about it. He could only burn the angel to ashes according to the will of the kingdom of God.
The first ray of light from the rising sun shone on the angel's impure body. The rage from the sun god instantly turned the fallen angel into silver-white ashes. The ashes were carefully collected by the priests and became an important raw material for a high-level enchanting weapon.
St. Philip hadn't received a response from the Lord of Dawn for a long time. Until a daily prayer a year ago, the Lord of Dawn, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly had a direct response. He still clearly remembered the scene at that time.
"Combined with the Europa people, promise them all the conditions." The voice was still the voice of the Lord of Dawn, but St. Philip was sure that something inside was different.
"I don't know who the Europa people you are talking about, the great Lord of the Dawn." St. Philips didn't know that there would be the Europa Empire in the future, but he had already sensitively noticed the existence of the players: "Are you referring to those foreign visitors, undead?"
"Some of them will soon find you."
"Be sure of your will, great Lord, we are forever loyal." St. Philip replied in a low voice, but the voice of the gods had long gone.
Soon someone found him through the relationship between the Woking Church, followed by a series of conspiracies, personnel appointments, noble enthronements, and the Chenxi Church secretly helped the mysterious people to put the scattered territory into a whole piece bit by bit.
That is the prototype of the Europa Empire. St. Philip and the Church of Morning Light participated in the establishment of the Europa Empire throughout the process and provided great help.
In this process, the high-end force of the church subordinates, the legendary paladin Stannis, clashed with the church because of his daughter.
St. Philip is not a pedantic person. This world is like a sieve in front of chaos. What kind of damage can a little girl infected with chaos literature and art cause? But the Lord of Dawn, the Lord of Dawn, cannot tolerate such filth.
So the angry Stannis opened up the truth that the senior officials of the Dawn Church had been trying hard to cover up. The power of the Holy Light did not come from the Lord of the Dawn. As long as you are familiar with the power of the Holy Light and understand it enough, you can bypass the mechanism set by the Lord of the Dawn and freely call on that powerful force.
As both a legendary powerful man and a user of the power of holy light, Stannis naturally knew about these things for a long time, but doing so would be like stabbing a hornet's nest.
St. Philip could not tolerate such acts that shake the foundation of the church, and he chose to eliminate the threat by force.
